Nala said gently: "I am fine, Your Majesty, you don't have to worry about me."
Taking advantage of this moment, Guarjia pushed Wen Ruyan, who was standing still, and said: "Sister, a good man doesn't suffer the consequences of his immediate loss. The Queen just made it clear that she set a trap for us to jump into. Since we have lost, we will admit it."
This is a mistake, otherwise it will be difficult to explain to the Emperor."
Wen Ruyan didn't say a word, but her expression said everything. She was reluctant to admit her mistake to Nala. This woman had already disgusted her to her core.
Wen Ruqing glanced at Yinzhen, who was no longer talking, and said worriedly: "Sister, how about I admit your mistake for you?"
Wen Ruyan stretched out her hand to stop her and said: "No need, the queen will not accept it anyway." After saying this, she finally walked out, pulled up her sleeves and knelt down towards Nala, and said in a deep voice: "I just offended the queen.
Please forgive my concubine for being rude."
"It's good to know your mistake. Concubine Hui is an old man in the palace. You have to be more careful in what you do and say in the future. I don't want you to make the same mistake again." After giving Wen Ruyan a lecture,
Nara raised his hand and said, "Okay, get up."
"Thank you, Queen!" Wen Ruyan bowed her head and stepped aside, still holding a breath in her heart.
"Sister, I'm sorry for making you feel wronged." Ling Ruo said softly from behind her. If it weren't for herself, Wen Ruyan would not contradict the queen like this.
Wen Ruyan turned around and comforted: "It has nothing to do with you. It's just that I don't like her. I just didn't knock her down this time. I don't know how many things will happen in the future." After that, her words
Full of helplessness.
In that room, Nian had already taken the opportunity to say: "Your Majesty, since Kunning Palace has been searched, why not take the opportunity to search other palaces as well, so that the murderer of Hong Sheng can be found as soon as possible."
Yinzhen hesitated and said nothing. Searching the entire harem would have a great impact. Once spread, it would definitely damage the royal family's face. As for the search of Kunning Palace just now, it was a last resort. Looking back now, Yinzhen already regrets it.
At this time, a young eunuch suddenly rushed over. After being blocked outside, he turned blue with anxiety and shouted to the palace attendant who blocked him: "I have something urgent to report to the emperor. Let me in quickly."
Yinzhen frowned slightly and raised his voice: "Sixi, why don't you go outside and see who is making the noise?"
"Yes." Si Xi returned to the palace shortly after retreating, looking a little surprised, "Qi Emperor, it's Xiao Duozi from Yikun Palace. He said he has something very important."
Yikun Palace? Yinzhen subconsciously glanced at Nian, who also looked puzzled. They had just come out of Yikun Palace not long ago, and Hong Sheng was already fine. How could something happen again?
Thinking like this, Yinzhen said: "Let him come in."
Following Yinzhen's words, Xiao Duozi entered the palace. He seemed to be frightened, and his whole body was shaking. He made a simple movement of hitting a thousand, but he almost fell to the ground like a drunkard.
Nian was very unhappy that someone in her palace had made a fool of herself in public, and shouted softly: "Xiao Duozi, why do you want to meet the emperor? Hurry up and tell the truth."
Nian's words made Xiao Duozi even more frightened. He shrunk like a shrimp and said tremblingly: "To the Emperor, the Empress and the Imperial Concubine, Third Brother, he...he..."
"What's wrong with Hongsheng?" Nian felt ominous and quickly walked over to ask Xiao Duozi.
Xiao Duozi lowered his head and did not dare to raise his eyes, and said with a cry in his voice: "Returning to the imperial concubine, the third elder brother...he is dead!"
Exclamations came one after another, and everyone looked at Xiao Duozi with horrified eyes. Even Yinzhen and Nala stood up from their chairs uncontrollably, with disbelief on their faces. As for Nian, everyone was stunned. I was speechless for a long time.
It was Nala who was the first to react and said with a look of shock and anger: "Why is this happening? Didn't Doctor Xu have already detoxified the third elder brother? When he came out just now, he was able to speak. Why did you suddenly... die again?" It was very difficult for her to say the next few words.
"Minion... I don't know. Just now, Imperial Physician Jin and the others suddenly said that Third Elder Brother has passed away, and asked me to come and report to the Emperor as soon as possible." Xiao Duozi was about to cry, and he himself was still in a state of shock and confusion. I haven't come back to my senses yet.
"Impossible!" Nian suddenly came back to his senses, kicked Xiao Duozi hard, and said sternly with red eyes: "You are talking nonsense, Hong Sheng is obviously fine, how could he suddenly die? You are a slave dog, you can't How brave you are to deceive the Emperor and me!"
Xiao Duozi was kicked to the ground like a piece of rag by Nian. He didn't dare to get up. He just cried: "I dare not deceive the queen. It is true. The third elder brother is really dead."
"Hongsheng!" Yinzhen realized the seriousness of the matter, shouted softly, and ran out quickly. Nala quickly followed behind, and the rest of the people who came to their senses also followed in twos and threes, each time Everyone looked shocked, not knowing why Hong Sheng died suddenly.
"It'll be fine, nothing will happen to Hong Sheng, it must be nonsense like a slave like you!" Nian pointed at Xiao Duozi and said word by word: "When I go back and see that Hong Sheng is well, I will definitely come back and pick him up." I got rid of you, this dog slave."
Xiao Duozi didn't say anything, just sobbed lowly. Such crying made Nian more and more upset. She turned around and ignored it, and just walked quickly to Yikun Palace.
On the way, Hongli grabbed Ling Ruo's sleeve and asked in panic: "Mother, Xiao Duozi said that the third brother is dead, is it true?"
Ling Ruo shook his head with a heavy face and said, "Eniang doesn't know either, but Xiao Duozi shouldn't be able to talk nonsense, unless he gets crazy."
"No, the third brother was just talking to your son, how could he just say no and be gone?" Hongli murmured to himself, shaking his head hard, but his eyes couldn't help but turn red. He gritted his teeth, I felt that walking like this was too slow, so I ran as fast as I could, passing Ling Ruo and catching up with Yinzhen who was walking in the front.
As soon as he ran quickly, Hong Zhou next to him ran up quickly regardless of Yubi's dissuasion. In this regard, no one spoke or scolded, and everyone's thoughts were on Yikun Palace.
It was supposed to be half an hour's journey, but after walking quickly, we arrived in less than a moment. All the palace officials guarding outside Yikun Palace looked shocked.
Yinzhen ran straight into the inner hall without looking at them. Just like when he left, Hong Sheng lay quietly on the bed. Liu and Jin, the two imperial doctors, knelt down and knelt down. When they saw Yinzhen and others coming in, they kowtowed with tears. "Wei Chen failed to take care of the third elder brother. Wei Chen is guilty and please punish him."
Without looking at them, Yinzhen quickly came to the bed and looked at Hong Sheng, who was lying peacefully on the bed with his eyes closed and covered with a brocade quilt. His heart was filled with unspeakable fear. When he put his hand under Hong Sheng's nose, He stopped breathing nervously.
One breath...two breaths...three breaths...
During such a long period of suffering, Yinzhen never felt Hongsheng's breathing, not even a faint breath. How could this be?
